Chapter Twenty-Six: Return to the Ancient City
"Sister, sister, don't fight, I brought you something good. Xiao Wu hurriedly raised his hand and took out two pieces of snake meat.
As soon as the words fell, all the poison ivy hung in the air, and then two tender poison ivy reached over and gently touched two pieces of snake meat.
A slender new vine swiped across the ground, leaving a line of words.
"For me?" Lingguo asked.
"yes, it was given to me by two of my friends. There are five of them, and I'll divide them with you. ”
Poison ivy rubbed against Xiao Wu's face, and the vines danced, wrapping everything up and dragging it far away.
Xiao Wu grinned and said, "Sister, those two people are outside the forest now, I want to bring them to meet you." ”
Poison ivy swayed at random, and after a while, one of them nodded.
Xiao Wu was overjoyed, quickly returned to the edge of the forest, and said, "Xiaoqiu, Brother Zhengtian, come with me." ”
Seeing Xiao Wu in an embarrassed state, Qiushui said worriedly: "Xiao Wu, why are you injured, let's not go, let's go." ”
After walking in the Great Wilderness for a few days, Qiushui also understood what kind of place this was, and the things in the forest made Shangguan Zhengtian's hair stand upside down.
"Ahem, that's right, she's a sister, I called her Brother Shu to make her angry, but she's a good person. Xiao Wu explained embarrassedly.
Shangguan Zhengtian and Qiushui looked Xiao Wu up and down, how could this kind of existence recognize such a younger brother as you?
The two cautiously followed behind Xiao Wu, and the dry bones scattered in the forest kept reminding the two that this was not a good person, or rather a good tree.
Xiao Wu noticed their expressions and explained: "I heard the old people in the city say before that this kind of fruit tree can exude breath and affect the greed of living beings, if they can suppress their own desires, they should not die here." Besides, sister, she didn't hurt me just now, so you don't have to worry too much. ”
Shangguan Zhengtian looked Xiao Wu up and down again, and couldn't help but tense all over his body, ready to grab the autumn water and run away at any time.
Soon saw the fruit tree, Shangguan Zhengtian was stunned for a moment, and secretly said in his heart that it was indeed a golden spirit fruit.
"Xiaoqiu, call sister!" Xiao Wu pinched Qiushui's little hand.
Qiu Shui took a step forward and shouted softly: "Hello sister." ”
The poison ivy around suddenly danced, Shangguan Zhengtian was startled, his body moved sideways, and he dodged, but the poison ivy followed closely behind.
Seeing this, Shangguan Qiushui hurriedly looked at Xiao Wu: "How can this be? Xiao Wu, let her stop quickly." ”
"Don't worry, sister, she hasn't used the power of confusion, and she doesn't really want to hurt Brother Zhengtian. ”
While comforting Qiushui, Xiao Wu stepped forward to persuade Lingshu to stop, but Lingshu ignored him.
Shangguan Zhengtian's figure was like the wind, and the poison ivy danced wildly, stirring up the dead leaves in the forest.
"Xiao Wu, let them stop first, okay. Qiushui worried.
At this moment, a poison ivy stretched out towards Qiushui, and Shangguan Zhengtian stabilized his body and blocked in front of Qiushui.
The poison ivy was menacing, Shangguan Zhengtian snorted coldly, the sharp blade was in his hand, and he was about to cut it off, when he suddenly heard Xiao Wu's voice in his ear, "Brother Zhengtian, don't do it!"
After hesitating, Shangguan Zhengtian was tied up.
"Sister, please let go of my brother. Qiushui saw that his brother was tied up, and hurriedly ran to hug the trunk of the spirit tree to plead, and Xiao Wu was also begging with him.
At this time, Shangguan Zhengtian's face was indifferent, looking at the fruit tree in front of him. The fruit tree is not tall, a little taller than an adult, but one person is thick, as if he had been cut by someone.
"I don't like your brother, he always wants to pick my fruit. ”
A sentence was left at Qiushui's feet, and Qiushui hurriedly said: "Sister, don't hurt my brother!"
All the vines nodded in response, and then tied Shangguan Zhengtian more tightly.
Xiaoqiu wanted to tear the vine apart in the past, but was gently held up by a tender poison ivy, swayed gently, and swinged.
Xiaoqiu was happy and worried about her brother, and her little face was full of entanglement.
"Xiaoqiu, I'm fine, you can play. Shangguan Zhengtian's sullen voice came out.
"Hehehe, my sister is so amazing!" Qiushui swayed around in the forest, very happy.
After playing for a while, Qiushui was no longer afraid of the tree, poison ivy rubbed her head, and Qiushui said happily: "Can we be friends?"
The vine nodded, and then a ripe golden spirit fruit was handed over, and Qiushui's eyes were bent into two crescents: "Thank you, sister!"
The three of them spent the night in the forest, and Xiao Wu set up two tents, one for him and one for Qiushui.
Shangguan Zhengtian was wrapped tightly and didn't need it at all.
At night, beside the bonfire, Xiao Wu and Qiushui interlocked their fingers and sat next to each other.
"Xiaoqiu, when you get to the ancient city, I'll take you to my house to have a look. ”
"Okay. ”
"Xiaoqiu, I want to be with you for the rest of my life. ”
"We're friends. Qiushui smiled slightly, but his eyes were erratic.
Xiao Wu looked at Qiushui's absent-minded appearance, and subconsciously grasped it tighter, Qiushui struggled slightly, Xiao Wu was worried about hurting her, so he loosened a little, and Qiushui took the opportunity to break free.
"Xiaoqiu......" Xiao Wu was at a loss.
"Xiaoqiu is very happy to meet you and meet you. Qiushui's eyes fell on his toes, and his voice was still weak.
Xiao Wu grabbed Qiushui's little hand, Qiushui didn't dodge, and said with a smile: "My brother still needs someone to take care of him." ”
The hand he was holding slowly separated, and Xiao Wu felt that his strength seemed to go with it, and only a deep sense of powerlessness remained in his heart.
Qiushui squatted beside Shangguan Zhengtian and wiped the dust on his body for him, over and over again, tirelessly.
"Why do you want to do this?" asked Shangguan Zhengtian. Qiushui smiled and shook her head, at this moment, no one knew what she was thinking.
A bonfire, the three of them had no words, each thinking about it......
The sky turned bright, Xiao Wu worshiped the spirit tree, and Shangguan Zhengtian was also let go, he opened his mouth, as if he had something to say.
When Xiao Wu turned around and was about to leave, Shangguan Zhengtian finally stopped him, pulled Xiao Wu to the side, and asked in a low voice, "Can you exchange something for a golden spirit fruit with it?"
"Do you want to taste it?" Xiao Wu looked at Shangguan Zhengtian suspiciously.
Shangguan Zhengtian's forehead was beating: "Xiaoqiu can use it!"
Xiao Wu's eyes were a little rounder: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"
"It is recorded in the book that the last Golden Spirit Fruit Tree died hundreds of years ago, who knew that this kind of place would be encountered!" Shangguan Zhengtian was both surprised and a little helpless.
Xiao Wu turned around and pounced on the spirit tree, and quickly hugged it back, Shangguan Zhengtian glanced at it, there were four or five of them, and the autumn water on the other side was also one in one hand, golden.
"Goodbye, sister, I will have a chance to come to see you again in the future!" Xiao Wu and Qiushui waved their hands, and there was a dark-faced Shangguan Zhengtian, and several people left the forest and continued to go south.
There are few things to eat near the Great Wilderness, but fortunately, they are well prepared, and there is nothing to worry about.
The Great Wilderness is even more difficult to walk than before, poisonous insects are in patches, the fog is like clouds, Shangguan Zhengtian's body is tense, and he has been careful around. The further south you go, the fewer poisonous insects there are, but the situation of several people is more dangerous, and there are many more dangerous things than poisonous insects.
Not only that, but the operation of the aura is even more obscure.
In just a few days, Xiao Wu saw a centipede two zhang long, a toad the size of a grinding plate, and even a poisonous bee the size of a person, basically several people were chased and killed all the way.
Xiao Wu also encountered the black snake from before, and Xiao Wu recognized it when he saw its eyes.
"Big snake, we've met once, why don't you come and beat me, and I won't hit you?" Xiao Wu said as he looked at those eyes. The big snake stared at Shangguan Zhengtian for a long time, and finally slowly retreated into the forest.
The farther south, Shangguan Zhengtian felt that the aura was suppressed, and when he saw the cracks all over the earth, the soil at the fracture was still fresh, and he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and asked, "This is a sudden appearance?"
Xiao Wu nodded: "Yes, that's how it was after I woke up, it was really good before." ”
The closer he got to the ancient city, the more frightened Shangguan Zhengtian became, at this moment his aura was difficult to flow, and he was afraid that even if he struck with all his strength, it would be difficult to destroy the mountains and rocks.
This endless crack spread throughout the entire field of vision, as if it was spreading in all directions with the ancient city as the center, and it was dozens of miles along the way, so it was really rumored that someone was fighting here? Shangguan Zhengtian's heart was full of shock.
"The ancient city has arrived, let's go to my house to rest first. Xiao Wu invited the two.
"Okay, let's go. Qiushui's eyes were full of novelty.
The three of them entered the city, and the ancient city was no longer depressed, and it already had some popularity.
At present, the forces of the ancient city are mixed, confronting each other, although the three of Xiao Wu attract attention, but they do not attract right and wrong, seeing the three of them leaving the city, no one pays too much attention to it, and no one cares about the life or death of the three children.
"Xiaoqiu, this is my home!" Xiao Wu stood under the tree, pointed to the courtyard and said, with an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
"Ahh
"Oh, hold my hand. Xiao Wu remembered that the yard from home was invisible to others, and Xiao Ya was like this at that time.
The three of them and a fox disappeared into the clearing holding hands, and the pupils of several pairs of eyes watching here from a distance shrank, all of which immediately delivered news to the forces behind them.
